Is NASA shutting down? T_T

I heard they are shutting down this summer!

I'm sad.

Is it true?

Definitely not

NASA already has the following missions developed and almost ready to launch:

In fact here is a list of planned launches:

You can see that there is plenty going on. NASA also needs to maintain it's existing missions:

And has the following missions under consideration, including:

So NASA is actually doing very well. Now that it is not financially handicapped by manned missions we should see a return to what NASA does best: high quality space exploration, new scientific discoveries and amazing images.

Cheers!

No. This is untrue, in fact I believe Obama raised their budget. He did, however, cut the orion program in favour of investing in private space companies. Don't panic, the future still looks bright for spaceflight.

Of course not. Where did you ever get that idea? All that is happening is that they are phasing out the shuttles because they are antiquated and dangerous.

No, the last shuttle is this summer but the rest of NASA is still going strong.

Since you're a "genius" you should know that's not true.

its there last space shuttle launching ever
